The future promises more increasingly sophisticated formulations for cosmetics and skin care products. The trend toward therapeutic cosmetics is sure to result in the need for the dermatologist to obtain a better understanding of modern ingredients and assessment techniques. Examples of products presently on the market representing new technology or formulation advances are listed in Table 3. New challenges will also be presented to government regulatory agencies as more chemicals with true biological activity are invented and tested. Claim substantiation and pre-marketing testing must also evolve to accurately assess efficacy and safety issues with important implications for total body health. Finally, new vehicles and delivery systems combined with established ingredients will alter percutaneous absorption, requiring reevaluation of substances with an assumed good safety profile. In the end, this new research will result in cosmetics and skin care products of superior quality and efficacy to offer patients.
未来，化妆品和护肤品的配方将越来越复杂精密。治疗性化妆品的发展趋势必然使皮肤科医生需要更好地了解现代成分和评估技术。表3列出了目前市场上代表新技术或配方进展的产品示例。随着更多具有真正生物活性的化学物质被发明和测试，政府监管机构也将面临新的挑战。宣称的证据支持和上市前测试也必须不断发展，以准确评估对全身健康有重要影响的功效和安全问题。最后，新的载体和递送系统与现有成分相结合将改变经皮吸收，需要重新评估那些假定具有良好安全性的物质。最终，这项新研究将带来质量和功效更优的化妆品和护肤品，造福患者。
